Third trimester kicks first trimester's BUTT!!!

I am not one to complain, but DANG!! I am SOOO uncomfortable. Those of you who have been preggers before, this is old news, but oh my gosh!! I have never been so uncomfortable in all of my life! The third trimester kicks the first trimester's butt!!!

I haven't been feeling well the past few days, just out of energy, and so uncomfortable, The only way i can get any relief from my excruciating hip pain is if i sit in the hot bath, or if i sit straight up, legs out in front of me. But then the rest of me is uncomfortable!

I went to the Dr today for my weekly checkup and as i was sitting in the waiting room I just knew something was off. I was nauseous and I just felt so badly!! When nurse Judy came to get me she did the usual, weighed me (I actually didn't gain any this week!!) took a urine sample and my blood pressure. Low and behold, my blood pressure was really high! I didn't ask what it was... I wish I did, but it was high enough for them to make me stay there until it went down. When Dr Blake came in the room she waisted NO time asking me how I felt, I just busted out sobbing. "I just don't know how much more I can take of this!!" She looked at me with a very concerned and compassionate look, handed me some tissue, and continued to ask me questions specific to my high BP, She let me hear the Avery's heart beat and the tears started to dry up. She checked to see if I had dilated or effaced for the first time and she was surprised to find that I had dilated 2 cm and effaced 80%. THat made me feel much better!!!! At least I am going some where!! Who knows though, I may have been like this for the last month... She had me lay on my left side for 10 min or so and rechecked my BP. My bottom number was still 95 BUT she felt fine about that... Now I have cramps!! OUCH. Lets hope I go into labor, If she has to induce me, Ill still have three weeks to go. At least I know that she will be here in less than a month!!! Sorry to complain! I just wanted to share the latest with you all. I'll be sure to keep you updated! ~K
